(File photo by Thomas R. Cordova/Long Beach Press-Telegram) A power outage at a data center grounded JetBlue Airways flights in the Southland and across the country Thursday. "We're experiencing intermittent network issues due to a data center power outage," said a midmorning Twitter post by the airline. "We're working to resolve & should be restored shortly." The outage was at a Verizon data center, according to JetBlue, which reported at 1:50 p.m. that the problem had been fixed and systems were being restored. By 2:50 p.m., the airline reservation system was back online. As of midday, three departing JetBlue flights were delayed at Los Angeles International Airport, according to Katherine Alvarado of Los Angeles World Airports, the city agency that runs the airport. No incoming flight delays were immediately reported. A handful of flights also were delayed at Long Beach Airport. http://www.dailybreeze.com/general-news/20160114/data-center-power-outage-delays- jet-blue-flights-at-lax-long-beach Back to Top American Airlines Flight Makes Emergency Landing At San Jose Airport SAN JOSE (CBS SF) - An American Airlines flight bound for Mineta San Jose International Airport made a safe emergency landing Thursday afternoon after a possible mechanical issue, airline officials said. American Airlines flight No. 597 departed from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Arizona for San Jose, where it safely landed at 3:48 p.m. and taxied to the gate, according to the airline. The pilot reported of a possible mechanical issue as the Airbus A319 plane landed, according to airline officials. At the gate, the 111 passengers and a crew of five disembarked without incident. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/01/14/american-airlines-flight-makes-emergency- landing-at-san-jose-airport/ Back to Top The Best & Worst Airline to Fly in 2015 Frequent fliers, take note. Business travel can be a game of chance, but you roll the dice more with some airlines than others. An annual ranking of the nine largest U.S. airlines has put American Airlines last in 2015. It takes the crown from the previous year's biggest loser, United Airlines. The Wall Street Journal's annual Middle Seat Scorecard ranked the airlines on how well they performed in seven categories, including the percentage of on-time flight departures and number of customer complaints. The study collected data from analytics companies GEE Operations Solutions and FlightStats Inc. and the Department of Transportation. American came in last in three of the seven categories, including canceled flights, tarmac delays lasting longer than two hours, and mishandled baggage. Meanwhile, the best- performing airline in the U.S., Alaska Airlines, had the highest percentage of flights that arrived on time. Alaska Airlines also had the lowest number of "extreme delays" (defined as delays that lasted longer than 45 minutes), two-hour-plus tarmac delays, and customer complaints. Here's the overall ranking of U.S. airlines from best to worst: Alaska Virgin America Delta Southwest JetBlue Frontier United Spirit American http://www.inc.com/anna-hensel/best-and-worst-airlines-2015.html Back to Top NTSB's 2016 Aviation Safety Goals 'In Step' with NBAA's The NTSB's 2016 "Most Wanted" safety improvements announced yesterday "are in step with the safety focus areas of NBAA's Safety Committee, and that alignment between government and industry efforts to address these issues best contributes to improved flight safety," NBAA said. Aviation safety focus areas on this year's list include fatigue, distraction and loss of control in flight (LOC-I). "Preventing loss of control in flight continues as the NTSB's primary general aviation safety improvement area in 2016, and this issue is also among the 2015 NBAA Top Safety Focus Areas," said NBAA senior manager for safety and flight operations Mark Larsen. The NTSB links this issue with 47 percent of the fatal fixed-wing GA aircraft accidents in the U.S. between 2008 and 2014. NBAA's Top Safety Focus Areas list also includes distraction and technology management, which reiterates the need to focus on the primary task at hand rather than non-mission- critical information. The NBAA list also recommends training on and proficiency with mission-related technology, so that managing it while performing safety-sensitive tasks does not become a distraction. Reducing fatigue-related accidents also parallels the fitness for duty foundation for safety specified in the NBAA Top Safety Focus Areas. Operators must address fatigue, sleep apnea, improper use of medications and many other physical and psychological aeromedical issues, NBAA said. New to the NTSB list this year is expanding the use of recorders to enhance transportation safety. With the growing use of data as part of aviation safety programs, recorders play a critical role in helping operators to validate processes and identify trends before problems occur, NBAA noted. "A proactive safety culture that seeks input from all facets of the operation is key to improved business aviation safety," said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. "NBAA remains dedicated to our collaborative working relationship with the NTSB to help improve business aviation safety." NBAA's Safety Committee is also asking business aviation professionals to provide input via an online survey for its annual risk assessment review that will be done later this month. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2016-01-14/ntsbs-2016- aviation-safety-goals-step-nbaas Back to Top FAA finalizes rule on student certificates Withdraws photo requirement for licenses By Elizabeth A Tennyson The FAA has published a final rule changing the way student pilot certificates will be issued and withdrawing plans to require photos on all pilot certificates, a proposal AOPA vigorously opposed. Under the new "Student Pilot Application Requirements," published in the Federal Register Jan. 12, aviation medical examiners (AMEs) will no longer issue student pilot certificates. Future applicants will need to go through designated pilot examiners, FAA inspectors, airman certificate representatives from a Part 141 flight school, or flight instructors. Those representatives will accept and process applications (primarily through the FAA's Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application system) but not issue the certificates, which will be plastic, similar to other airmen certificates. (See this chart for specific details.) The rule has its roots in the 2004 Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act and an initial notice of proposed rulemaking published in 2010. AOPA has been engaged throughout the process to ensure that the requirements would not be excessively costly or onerous. The association strongly opposed a requirement to put a photo on all pilot certificates, urged the agency to reduce turnaround times for issuing student certificates, and opposed a plan to charge $22 for the issuance or renewal of a pilot certificate. The FAA has said it will address charges for pilot certificates separately. The changes, which will prevent flight students from applying for and receiving their certificate on the same day, grew out of a Congressional requirement that all pilot certificate applicants be screened by the TSA before being issued a certificate. The FAA estimates it will take up to three weeks from the time a student applies for a certificate until it is issued. "We'll continue to monitor the implementation of this new rule to make sure the FAA is issuing student pilot certificates promptly," said Justin Barkowski, AOPA director of regulatory affairs. "We don't want this requirement to unnecessarily delay students from soloing or completing their flight training." Unlike current student pilot certificates, the new certificates will not expire. And CFIs will no longer have to endorse the certificate itself, instead putting the endorsement in the student's logbook. The new rule takes effect April 1, but student pilots who have been issued paper certificates before that date will be allowed to continue to use them until they expire. http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2016/January/14/FAA-finalizes-rule-on- student-certificates Back to Top 100 Years Of Attention To Safety Brings Results Vital innovations have improved air safety A Short History Of Making Flying Safer Debate swirls around the right way forward for air safety. Advocates of enhanced and synthetic vision want those systems to be given more credit so that their users can keep flying when the ducks are walking. Other operators are concerned that long sectors and automated aircraft leave crews unfamiliar with real flying. And as Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 shows, aviation at 100 years can still present riddles. But the history of air safety shows that debates and mysteries are part of the process. If 1962 fatal accident rates were coupled with today's rate of departures, there would be a major jet crash every other day. But there were only two in 2015, one the result of a pilot suicide and the other, almost certainly, from a bomb. The air safety process has been neither linear nor organized, and there's no one single factor involved. Comedian George Carlin once asked, "If the black box flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole airplane made out of that stuff?" Not only has there not been a technological breakthrough of that kind, but one of today's most widely produced airliners is an evolved version of an airplane designed in 1965. NASA's December 1984 "controlled impact demonstration," the deliberate crash of a remotely piloted Boeing 720, tested an antimisting fuel additive intended to reduce the severity of postcrash fires. It didn't. Credit: NASA Rather, today's level of air safety is the result of gradual changes in how aircraft are built, maintained, equipped and operated. As one cause of accidents was reduced or eliminated, its place as the most dangerous threat was taken by another problem, and the industry focused on that. Better tools and techniques for accident investigation pointed to underlying causes, which could in turn be addressed and their effects mitigated. Technology, training and psychology have dealt with problems that were once dismissed as "pilot error." But some issues remain to be addressed and will keep the industry focused during aviation's second century. http://aviationweek.com/century-aviation-week/100-years-attention-safety-brings-results Back to Top 40 Million Flights, 3.5 Million Passengers in 2015; Aviation Safety Performance Improves [HD videos below] In 2015 the commercial air transport sector operated more than 40 million flights and carried over 3.5 billion passengers across the world. The global fatal accident rate of one in 5 million flights marks 2015 as the safest year ever for commercial aviation, as the industry reaffirmed its commitment to delivering continuous improvements in air safety performance. The major accident loss rate has more than halved over the past five years. Cockpit of Thai Vietjet Airbus A320-214 registration HS-VKA. The aviation industry's excellent safety record reflects the benefits of close collaboration amongst the various stakeholders, including airlines, aerospace manufacturers, airports, air navigation and other service providers, working closely with national regulatory authorities in accordance with established International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) global standards. There were four major accidents involving large western-built jets operated by commercial airlines, which resulted in a total of 374 fatalities. These losses included the Germanwings and Metrojet events which are understood to be the result of deliberate acts of unlawful interference. Asia Pacific carriers reported no major accidents involving large western-built commercial airline jets. Commenting on the industry's safety performance, Mr. Andrew Herdman, Director General of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) said, "Flying today is extraordinarily safe, and aircraft accidents are now increasingly rare events. Indeed, the 2015 accident rate is the lowest ever recorded, but we can never afford to be complacent." Turboprop operations have also maintained a very good safety record, with fewer major accidents being reported in 2015, but continue to experience somewhat higher accident rates compared to larger jet aircraft operations. Particular challenges include operating in remote geographical areas, and technical limitations involving the available airport and air navigation infrastructure. Mr. Herdman said, "Turboprop operations play an important role in serving smaller markets and developing regions of the world, but do face some specific operational challenges. We believe there are opportunities to further enhance safety performance by focusing particular attention on the importance of human factors including relevant flight training and adherence to standard operating procedures, as well as investments in upgrading the relevant air navigation aids and ground infrastructure at airports." Regional Growth "Air transport links are a key driver of economic and social development, and demand for air travel is expected to continue expanding year on year, not least in the Asia Pacific region which is already the world's largest aviation market. Governments have an important role to play in ensuring that the necessary aviation infrastructure, including effective regulatory oversight, keeps pace with the expected growth. AAPA's safety objective is to deliver further positive improvements in safety performance, recognising that this can only be achieved through the joint efforts of the region's operators, working in close partnership with regulators and other involved stakeholders," said Mr. Herdman. "Passengers can be assured that flying is safe, and getting safer still, thanks to the concerted efforts and commitment of industry and governments working together to ensure that aviation continues to meet the needs of the travelling public for safe, efficient and affordable air services." http://www.asiatraveltips.com/news16/151-AviationNews.shtml Back to Top PAL firms up $1-B deal for 6 long-haul aircraft MANILA, Philippines - Philippine Airlines (PAL) expects to sign the $1 billion purchase agreement next month for six long-haul aircraft. PAL president and chief operating officer Jaime Bautista told reporters in a chance interview the flag carrier has already made a decision on the new long-haul aircraft to be acquired and would likely sign the deal by February. "We'll make the announcement when we sign the purchase agreement," he said noting the deal would cover aircraft, aircraft parts and support equipment. The airline is planning to acquire six aircraft for its long-haul flights. The new long-haul aircraft would replace the Airbus 340s which are costlier to maintain and consume more fuel. PAL is choosing between Airbus 350 and Boeing 787 to serve its long-haul routes. Since October last year, PAL's flights from Manila to New York have been using the Boeing 777-300 aircraft. Bautista said passengers of the Manila-New York flights have given positive feedback on the shift to the Boeing 777-300 aircraft from the Airbus 340 planes. Earlier, Bautista said PAL is also set to spend around $500 to $700 million for the delivery of seven other aircraft this year. In particular, the amount will be spent for five A321 aircraft and two Boeing 777-300 ER this year. The PAL Group, including low cost carrier unit PAL Express, has a fleet of more than 76 aircraft. http://www.philstar.com/business/2016/01/15/1542589/pal-firms-1-b-deal-6-long-haul- aircraft Back to Top TAG Global Training Introduces Private Staff Aircraft Safety Training Farnborough, 14th January 2016 - TAG Global Training now operates a bespoke Private Staff Aircraft Safety Training course. The newly introduced syllabus has been specifically designed for private staff with no previous aviation experience who may be required to undertake duties on board an owner's aircraft, or frequently travel without cabin crew. The half day course features aircraft safety training topics such as how to handle pilot incapacitation, the physiological effects of flying to basic fire fighting techniques and procedures for landing in water and donning life jackets, in addition to other on board essential safety components. The Private Staff Aircraft Safety Training course is ideally suited to PA's, close protection teams, household staff and even grooms travelling with horses. In addition TAG Training also offers a tailored Yacht Crew Aircraft Safety Training module which is a must for yacht crew personnel who possess no former aviation experience but may be required to undertake on board duties. Courses are taught by the experienced in-house professional instructors at TAG Global Training who together offer many years of aviation experience with international flag carriers and take place at TAG's Global Training Centre facility located at TAG Farnborough Airport or upon request, in private homes. "The Private Staff Aircraft Safety Training is a brand new course to accompany the wide array of practical and theoretical TAG Ground Courses and Academy Global Customised Training we provide" says Debbie Elliott, Training Manager, TAG Global Training. "The landscape of aviation training has changed significantly in recent years. Owners of aircraft with less than 19 seats are not obligated to have cabin crew so the trusted staff of these high net worth individuals inherently undertake equivalent responsibilities. The course will therefore be of essential use and support to such personnel who are frequently required to be on board and in the event of an incident occurring they will then feel empowered with knowledge to not only help themselves to safety but also the principal and family." Full details of all TAG Global Training courses, including new and refresher First Aid Training, Crew Resource Management and Fire and Smoke Training can be found at http://www.tagaviation.com/en/tag-global/ . Yacht Crew Aircraft Safety Training can be delivered internationally and is suitable for all ranks, with pricing available on application.

A prototype was built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and is slated to be formally delivered to Japan's Ministry of Defense in March. The jet features a stealth airframe and is about 46 feet long with a wingspan of about 30 feet. After seven years of development, Japan plans to test its first homegrown stealth jet as early as next month. A prototype of the yet-to-be-named aircraft was built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and is slated to be delivered to Japan's Ministry of Defense in March, according to Japanese broadcaster NHK. The jet features a stealth airframe and is about 46 feet long with a wingspan of about 30 feet. Prototype tests will take place between an airfield in Aichi prefecture and a Japan Air Self- Defense Force base in Gifu prefecture in central Japan, NHK reported. The jet showcases a new technology that allows it to make adept moves in the air by changing the direction of its engine thrust. The ability to avoid radar detection in the air has been sought since World War II but really only became a reality during the Cold War. Many of the world's superpowers have stealth technology and capability, including Russia and China. http://www.stripes.com/news/pacific/japan-to-test-first-homegrown-stealth-jet-1.388794 Back to Top NASA adds third company as space station shipper; shuttle back In this June 27, 2013 photo provided by NASA, Sierra Nevada Corp. engineers and technicians prepare the Dream Chaser engineering test vehicle for tow tests at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in California. NASA is adding a third company to its short list of space station suppliers, a Nevada business that will bring back a mini version of the shuttle. On Thursday, NASA announced Sierra Nevada Corp. will join SpaceX and Orbital ATK in launching cargo to the International Space Station. These flights will begin in 2019 and run through 2024. This marks a second chance for Sierra Nevada. It competed for NASA's commercial crew contract, but lost out in 2014 to SpaceX and Boeing in a bid to ferry astronauts. The Sparks, Nevada-based company is developing a scaled-down shuttle called Dream Chaser to haul cargo. The other companies use standard-shaped capsules. Like SpaceX, Sierra Nevada plans to launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The spacecraft will be able to land back on Earth, like the shuttle, and bring back science experiments and other items from the station. "Within a few short years, the world will once again see a United States winged vehicle launch and return from space to a runway landing," Mark Sirangelo, vice president of Sierra Nevada's space systems, said in a statement. NASA's space station program manager, Kirk Shireman, said he's been assured that the Dream Chaser could touch down on lots of runways-in lots of places. The goal is to retrieve science samples, though, as quickly as possible for analysis. A runway touchdown would be gentler than the ocean parachute drop used by SpaceX. "The air traffic controllers would hate us landing" at Washington Dulles International or other major airports, Shireman said. "Most likely, we'll land in Florida, right close to where our facilities are." Now, only SpaceX can return goods. In its latest proposal, SpaceX has offered to return its Dragon capsules to land as well, Shireman said. Other cargo ships, including Orbital's Cygnus and Russia's Progress, are filled with trash and burn up on re-entry. Recent launch accidents by SpaceX and Orbital prompted NASA to pick a third vendor, for increased flexibility. Orbital launched from Wallops Island, Virginia, until a launch explosion in 2014. It's using another company's rocket, the Atlas V in Cape Canaveral, until its own Antares rocket is ready to fly later this year from Wallops. SpaceX experienced its own launch failure last summer; it hopes to resume supply runs for NASA in the next month or so. NASA awarded its first commercial resupply contracts in 2008, anticipating the pending retirement of its space shuttles. The first commercial cargo flight, by SpaceX, was in 2012, a year after the last shuttle mission. The latest contract calls for a minimum of six flights by each of the three companies. Shireman anticipates four commercial supply runs a year, once flights kick in under the new contracts. The original contracts exceeded $3 billion. Shireman declined to put a cost on this second round, noting it would come nowhere near the $14 billion maximum value cited in the procurement papers. Many details, in fact, will have to wait, Shireman stressed. He would not comment on Boeing's departure from the competition last year, or other contenders. The Dream Chaser program-underway for 10 years-is based in Louisville, Colorado. http://phys.org/news/2016-01-nasa-company-space-station-shippers.html#jCp Back to Top CALL FOR PAPERS Military Aviation Safety Workshop "Sharing Safety Lessons to Preserve Military Readiness" April 19 - 21, 2016 Albuquerque, New Mexico USA Hosted by the Rocky Mountain Regional Chapter of the International Society of Air Safety Investigators (ISASI) Representatives of military forces, associated contractors, educators, and researchers of all nationalities are invited to participate in a three-day ISASI Military Aviation Safety Workshop.
